Our best estimate for the Sodick AG80L is $250,000 – $420,000. This is an estimate for a sinker edm (ram edm) in this class, not a quote from Sodick; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/sodick-ag80l-sinker#price; the request is passed to Sodick or an authorised dealer.
The listed limit is 5,000 kg (11,023 lb), with electrodes up to 200 kg (441 lb). Those figures are high next to the current AL80G+, which is rated for 6,614 lb (3,000 kg) and 220 lb (100 kg), so confirm them from the nameplate or manual.
The listed tank is 1,200 x 900 x 600 mm (47.2 x 35.4 x 23.6 in), around 800 mm (31.5 in) of X, 600 mm (23.6 in) of Y and 500 mm (19.7 in) of Z. The 600 mm depth sets the tallest part that can be fully covered.
The listed control is a Sodick SP53P CNC with a Windows-based touchscreen, driving a Sodick LN2 digital generator at up to 100 A peak current. Run the control and a test burn before buying, as these rows have not been checked against Sodick.
The AG80L is not in Sodick's current lineup. The closest current size is the AL80G+, which has 33.46 in (850 mm) of X, 20.47 in (520 mm) of Y and 16.53 in (420 mm) of Z and weighs 21,605 lb (9,800 kg).
